[lit-ideas] Re: The Monster is dead

Thank God I managed to miss all that.
 
YouTube is broadcasting the whole thing widely -- I was showing my husband  
some of the creative things individuals have done -- including cool stop-motion 
 videos .
 
When I saw that the top .....couple dozen?....videos were of the execution  I 
felt ill.  I closed the site out.
 
Either it's important (in which case treating it as Vaudeville is entirely  
inappropriate), or it's not (in which case "we" should never have been there in 
 the first place), or (most likely) there are more people with prurient 
interests  in the morbid and vulgar than I want to acknowledge or admit.

No I was commenting on the  INANE comments that dozens of people were 
making in the two hours before the  inevitable and the hour after it. 
They were just rambling on and on. The guy  who witnessed the 
execution -- apparently Saddam's friend -- said "it worked  very 
nicely" about the noose. Larry King asked Anderson Pooper "Do you  
think this is rather Ghoulish?". The guy with no hand {weiskopf?} on  
Anderson Cooper's show was spewing unbelievable non-sequiturs and  
nonsense. I guffawed at least 12 times in three hours and I'm not a  
sicko. The things these turds were saying were that ridiculous. They  
were talking to talk. And AC's mock sincerity was absolutely 
hilarious.  It was REALLY like a parody of  itself.
